    This serene military cemetery was founded in 1915 and is the home of 2,960 French soldiers who fell during the bloody battles around the Crête des Éparges. Among them was Robert Porchon, friend of the writer Maurice Genevoix. The necropolis is located in the Hadimel ravine, at the foot of the ridge, and contains an ossuary with 852 unknown soldiers. A silent witness to the hell of trench warfare.
